immigration reform has to be tackled nationally. one thing that each of us grapples with is what we are going to do with regard to transportation infrastructure. i remember being so excited when president obama talked about his commitment to rail and that really kind of died and there wasn't a comprehensive support for that as well as other, you know, state to state initiatives. and so i'm wondering if you have a comment on the power of states uniting around transportation infrastructure and if you also see that as one of the economic drivers? i think we all know about innovation and creativity and those things as economic drivers. but if you can't move from place to place and be mobile that is really an obstacle for our business community. >> thanks for sharing your story. i think that is absolutely awesome. i'm going to tuck that away and reflect on your comments for the rest of the day and the week and the month because you are really what this effort is all about. we now have some state and local leaders, we just did a phone cal

she worked for the aclu immigrant rights project. when she was there she wrote condemnations of dhs because they were collecting fingerprint information of people they captured at the border. she said you shouldn't collect this information. the reason the information, of course, is important is because people just cycle through. get caught, sent back. opposing fingerprint information is a radical policy that affects the open board rs. >> these attorneys they just hired, were with with they necessary? did they have vacancies that needed to be filled? >> that's an interesting part of the story. they didn't need to hire this many people. they were going to originally hire a few. the chief lawyer at the dhs component, a man named steve legompski wanted to hire dozens and got special approval. that's important because this unit will have the power to effectively suspend immigration laws that if congress doesn't pass amnesty or comprehensive reform, these new lawyers will have the power to just let everybody in the united states that asks.

like immigration, like a lot of things in implementing fully obama care? >> to me there's an interesting thing here of what comes between those two points. if you look at the speech he gave on economic justice wednesday, clearly the president has big ideas, has a big agenda. he's not done with that. these are things he's discussed from the very beginning since he began running in 2007. to me what was interesting in watching your interview yesterday was when he talked about republicans. it's not he's completely resigned to the obstructionism, that they've presented, but i didn't get a sense of a lot of fight. he talked about being persistent. but i think if he wants to rally those segments that robert talked about and he referred to at the interview, he has to be concrete in what he's asking people to rally behind. take some of these grand ideas that he talked about on wednesday that he's talked about before whether it's raising the minimum wage, expanding head start to get investment going. whatever he talked about, he has more credibility now with these n
